I think it is more than safe to say that not using an AI agent in the future, while possible, will be like trying to function in our world without a smartphone. Possible of course, but you are at a disadvantage

My friend, I think you have it backwards.

AI use vs genuine human interaction is going to be like getting a machine made t-shirt at Walmart for $5 vs hiring a tailor. AI is going to give you a markedly lower quality job for much cheaper, and that’s going to be its utility.

There’s something so satisfyingly full-circle about 3d printing Megaman.EXE.

Thank you for this

That right there illustrates what that comment actually means. As a man, I’m assuming you are because of the context of being just straight enough to understand this, traditional society has created this expectation of manliness. That includes having an emotional, and especially a sexual, barrier against other men.

This expectation is not socially present in women. So it’s “ok” from a social standpoint to be a woman into women, but it violates manliness protocol for a man to be into men.

What this guy in the original comment is demonstrating is that he is entirely beholden to traditional social protocol, and he’s making the comparison, somewhat ironically, that being far right is viewed as a violation of the same social expectations while being far left isn’t.
